I'm presently working on a story that is set in what was once India, more than a thousand years in the future. And to that end I've had to immerse myself in some of the culture of the Hindi, Jainists, Muslims, etc. of the Near, Middle and Far East.
And one site I found that is worth reading regularly just because it has interesting snippets of information is Original Wavelength, a self-proclaimed blog about "cross-cultural issues, culture, comparative religion, psychology, inter-cultural management and communication, international business, team-working and human resource development and management (HRD and HRM)."
Research like that can be fun, but man it can suck up the time.
